The Grand Duchy of Torne Valley Sub-region is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 5.139 billion Torne Valley Sub-regionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Torne Valley Sub-regionian economy, worth 641 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,797 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, the might of the entire Torne Valley Sub-regionian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torne Valley Sub-region's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Torne Valley Sub-region is ranked 19,708th in the world and 24th in Sub regions of Finland for Most Developed, scoring 86.92 on the Human Development Index.
